US-101 AC Digouts and Resurfacing Project (EA 2X730)

Caltrans District 4 is proposing the removal of damaged asphalt concrete pavement and resurfacing with new asphalt concrete along US-101 in Santa Clara County, from 0.5-mile north of the Bernal Road Undercrossing to the Coyote Creek Bridge, with all work confined to the existing right-of-way. Construction is scheduled to occur during the summer of 2026, beginning in May and concluding by September, utilizing equipment such as AC trucks, grinders, loaders, pavers, and rollers, all staged within designated areas free of vegetation. Removed pavement markings and delineation will be fully restored. The project is categorized under a CEQA Class 1(c) categorical exemption for infrastructure maintenance, with no Notice of Exemption filed, and no federal FAR clauses, alternates, or contractual fill-ins are applied, reflecting its status as a state-led initiative under Caltrans jurisdiction. The NAICS code 237310 applies, and while Caltrans Standard Specifications govern construction quality, no specific ASTM or AASHTO standards are cited. Inspection and acceptance will be conducted on-site by Caltrans personnel, and performance is limited to the defined project corridor in San Jose, California, with no delivery or FOB terms applicable. There is no stated contract value, no pricing structure disclosed, and no formal contract type like FFP or IDIQ designated, with the procurement labeled as a forecast. The primary point of contact is Juliane Smith, Senior Environmental Scientist, who handles environmental compliance but is not formally designated as a COR, COTR, or PCO. No subcontracting, socioeconomic set-asides, small business certifications, UEI or CAGE codes, or payment office banking details are provided, and no electronic invoicing systems like WAWF are referenced. No specialized contract requirements, evaluation factors, award methodology, proposal submission formats, page limits, or electronic portals are specified, and all representations and certifications typically included under federal acquisition frameworks are absent, consistent with a state-funded highway preservation effort not subject to full federal procurement rules.
